Ok, what do we know this guy?

I dug this from wiki. Not much there to be honest.

- Founder of Planet Hollywood (Been bankrupt twice)
- Friend of Bill Kenwright
- Co-Chairman of BHM Gaming Opportunities (Not much known)

What is he worth?

- (2006) £210million
- (2007) £290million

What can he bring?

- Much higher publicity in America
- Outside Investment?
- Personal Investment?

The last two obviously go against Kenwright's dream. So do we need to be sentimental? Or do we need to be ruthless to prevent catastrophe?
 

He's mates with Stallone?

I presume that the amount he's worth is tied up in assets and certainly not disposable revenue.

But if he's on the board he has to stump up something, surely. £10 million earns you a song from the Gwladys Street Ninjas in your honour.
 
Oh my god, he's worth 290 million!! I didnt realise that, I though he was a millionaire in the Kenwright mould, i.e 1 or 2 in the bank. I'm shocked. Maybe I'm being naieve, but he cant be a bad person to have on board. Maybe we can open a restaurant on site, Planet Everton!
 

Warzycha: So thats one drunken duncan burger with a side order of tiny tim fries.

I can see it now!

Well thats what I'm thinking. New stadium, American investment? its all setup really.
 
Yeah, I know many people were skeptical of the old Stallone stunt he pulled off, but theres no doubting why he did it and that it did draw massive attention to us. His expertise is marketing, so it would be good if he could pull off more tricks like that. It can only lead to more exposure and with that comes more money.
 
Well I would want more than just the odd celebrity turning up. I would want to see how he turned a business around twice after it failed twice. Ok, so he has been bankrupt twice, but he has managed to bounce back, and we certainly need to bounce back.

Thats right, he has come back twice, that seems to be the exact quality we need for board members.

But just in case, Chico, put me down for one of those t shirts.
